Where trainees learn to dry a wide variety of herbs and flowers and design beautiful, long-lasting arrangements. The Women's Organic Flower Enterprise is our value-added enterprise and extends the farming season for our trainees.

Women’s Organic Flower Enterprise (WOFE) creates gift products using raw materials grown by our trainees on our organic farm while providing individuals meaningful work. WOFE products are sold in our retail store, From Our Garden, with all revenue returning to the program. Originally intended as a safe place for women, WOFE now employs men as well, while retaining the value of safety for women.

WOFE allows our trainees year-round transitional employment, provides training in job skills, raises self-esteem and confidence and works to replace the isolation that homelessness may bring with a community of support.
